Read moreErick Sermon On How NYC Emcees Are Holding It Down For Hip-Hop [Video]
According to Erick Sermon, “nobody’s grittier than Sheek Louch,” and “the nicest underrated rapper is Joell Ortiz.” These are just couple of the reasons why he made sure to enlist his fellow New York lyricists on his single “Make Room,” from his anticipated new solo album ‘E.S.P.’ which drops in August. While at the video shoot which went down in the Bronx, the Green-Eyed Bandit conveyed the story of how DJ Desue encouraged him to use the beat for the track. Erick immediately knew it was “hard as hell,” and held an organic New York sentiment. The EPMD frontman then spoke on his thoughts on New York City MCs, saying, “At the end of the day, when it comes down to New York City, there’s nobody to represent New York City [other] than these MCs, and this is our city. They got to stop fronting on us. They got to stop fronting on us making records how we want to make them.” He continues to challenge his contemporary and emerging rappers, saying, “So what, we want to rhyme. What’s bad about us wanting to emcee, and have some drums on our sh*t; what’s wrong with that? What’s wrong with the Hip-Hop? That’s why I came, and that’s why I called them for that, because I wanted to show them n****s like, ‘Yo, New York is here and we ain’t playing.” After showing respect to A$AP Rocky, Joey Bada$$, Troy Ave, Action Bronson, and Flatbush Zombies, the “Music” MC contends that
Read moreSheek Louch: “Rappers Need To Know When To Leave The Hood” [Video]
The LOX member Sheek Louch wasted no time promoting his “Silverback Gorilla Pt. 2 [album] coming September 18th” when he spoke to VladTV this past weekend during his shoot for Erick Sermon’s “Make Room” featuring him and Joell Ortiz. “It’s crazy, man,” he tells us about his upcoming collective. Sheek – who Erick Sermon says “did one of the best verses of his career” on their new track together – talked to us about Meek Mill’s comments on going back to the hood after you reach a certain point in your career and how he feels about the 2015 XXL Freshman Class. After asking that Vlad not “twist his words” about the up and comers, Sheek says that he’s “a fan of some of them.” Others, not so much, but only because he wasn’t even aware they existed. “Some I don’t know who the f*** you are – but I’m pretty sure somebody does.” In the end, however, he says it really doesn’t matter who’s on the cover as “long as you keepin’ it hip-hop.” When asked about Meek Mill’s statement following the death of Chinx, Sheek Louch’s opinion differed from Joell Ortiz’s, who we’d also asked while on set of their music video. “Some n***** still wanna stay and make a zillion dollars right then and there. Sometimes, you gotta count that s*** up and say ‘Yo, let’s pack up.” Joell on the other hand felt he never left the hood, whereas Sheek feels as if “motherf***ers don’t know
